dank memes

Rules:

  1. All posts must be memes and follow a general meme setup.

  2. No unedited webcomics.

  3. Someone saying something funny or cringe on twitter/tumblr/reddit/etc. is not a meme. Post that stuff in /c/slop

  4. Va*sh posting is haram and will be removed.

  5. Follow the code of conduct.

  6. Tag OC at the end of your title and we'll probably pin it for a while if we see it.

  7. Recent reposts might be removed.

  8. Tagging OC with the hexbear watermark is praxis.

  9. No anti-natalism memes. See: Eco-fascism Primer

ok but the golden horn is like 500m wide at the mouth, while the strait of hormuz is 50km.

I'll run down to home depot and see if I can get a chain long enough for them

Conventional artillery has an effective range of up to 55km with rocket assisted muntions.

I feel like you could definitely make a 20 mile long chain and put it up in the strait the only problems is 1) Iran doesn't control both sides and 2) i'm pretty sure the impact of a big ass tanker on a chain that long would just break it. Maybe fuck up the ship too?

Yeah but with modern technology 50km is like 50cm; just pick something up from like home depot or something
